A U.S District Judge, Paul W.

Hey fool!
”education is a companion which no misfortune can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate, no despotism can enslave, At home a friend, abroad an introduction, in solitude a solace and in society an ornament, It chasten vice, it guides virtue, it gives, at once a grace and government to genius, without it, what is Man?? A splendid slave and a reasoning savage “Says John Adinson.
Fool, you might be confused to the marrow reading this peace of advice,I presumed. Don’t be astounded. I am only writing to let you understand my stance as a man. Look! I want you to resume into your privacy to judge yourself on such betray of trust from or by your tribe. However, I am no more after your ill-fated service but just to ‘WARN’ you for the Last time. I learnt you talked balderdash as regards yorubas actions. In fact, you need to be very careful.
NOTE: IT DOES NOT TAKE ME 5 MINUTES TO DESRTOY YOUR GENERATION,FOOL LIKE YOU,JUST A WARNING
